Christmas Cushions for the Festive SeasonCushions Galore, December 2011 -- Christmas Cushions December 5th 2011
In previous issues I have discussed all the different steps needed to be considered when making cushions. The festive season is a great start to put all these steps into practise. This is a lovely time to make decorations for your room whether it is a few tree decorations, a wall hanging or some festive cushions for your settee. These cushions could be made in Christmas colours, or show an applique Christmas motif such as a snowflake, snowman, Christmas tree or make them into cushion presents with a few well placed ribbons. On my Christmas page there is a cushion that I made into a Christmas pudding. These are bound to cause a laugh or two. The range of ideas is quite vast if you think about it. New pages this monthI have not done many pages this month due to getting myself prepared for my first craft fair. I make various items when I am writing pages for my website, this is mainly so I can take pictures of the different sewing stages to share with everyone. I thought I would try to sell these and because the fair was over two days I had to spend a bit of time sewing extra items to sell just in case I ran out. The fair wasn't advertised well so not many people came to visit all the stall holders. I was quite pleased with what I sold as it covered the full range of items I had for sale. After this was over I decided to put these extra items onto my shop page. Such as Cushion panels which has ended up in being a lot of extra pages to try to make searching easier.
Coming up next timeMy next newsletter will be sent out on February 1st 2012. I hope to have done some pages of making cushions out of fabric pieces.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. Enjoy sewing and designing your festive cushions.
